Cook Like an Iron Chef with Michael Symon Starts With Dissing The Food NetworkCopyright: Phoenix New Times, LLC.

Iron Chef Michael Symon breaks out of Kitchen Stadium this Thursday with his new show on The Cooking Channel, Cook Like an Iron Chef. Symon, who owns Lola, Lolita, Bar Symon, and the B Spot restaurants in Northeast Ohio, as well as Roast in Detroit, says the show is for people who've watched the Food Network forever and are ready to learn something more advanced or more creative.Ha! Take that Food Network, bastard child of The Cooking Channel, and regular salary-payer of Symon when he's hosted or appeared-on FN shows like The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Dinner Impossible, Melting Pot, and Next Iron Chef, which Symon won in 2007. Maybe Symon's first lesson should be how to best-prepare biting the hand that feeds you, but for now, serious foodies should settle for the show's promise of advanced techniques done quickly.
So what to expect? For starters, scrambled eggs. How to perfect? Not as easy as it seems. What's the deal with duck fat? It's awesome and makes roasted potatoes taste amazing. Plus, what's so divine about eggplant dip?
While some special guests like fellow Iron Chef contenders may join him, Symon is the sole host of the show and most likely the only one to sport jeans, a funky T, and several tats.
Good luck, Chef Symon!
